Alif Allah Aur Insaan is a story of trust, loyalty, and relationships. The story revolves around five different people from five totally different backgrounds and their faith and conviction. It highlights the concept of how the Creator rewards the people who believe in hard work and patience.

It depicts the story of a young landlord, Shahzeb, who once saw Nazneen Malik at her sister's wedding and fell in love with her. Nazneen happens to be the spoiled child of Hashmat Malik. At the same wedding, Nazneen insults Shamu and his ensemble, who were invited by her parents to perform a dance. Nazi insults them for being transgenders, after which Shammu curses her so that one day she will lose all her faith. Meanwhile, the story depicts the life of Rani, a street beggar, who is forced to bring the money she earns to her father. She believes in human equality and once saved Shamu from mocking goons, which left him in love with her. One day, Rani comes across a beautiful place where a florist tells her about the beauty and faith of the town's well-known woman,'Nigar Begum'. This fascinates Rani, who constantly prays to be like her one day. It is revealed that Nigar Begum is a head tawaif (courtesan) who shelters homeless girls in her kotha.

It's revealed, in flashbacks, that Shahzeb was once forced by his friends to see Nigar Begum's Mujra dance. Despite going there because of his friends' insistence, Shahzeb wasn't the least bit interested, which made Nigar fall in love with him. He rejects her love and insults her, after which a heartbroken Nigar curses him so that one day he will be rejected in the same way.

Rani's father decides to get her married to Rasheed, who will in turn pay him an extra Mahr Payment. In order to stop begging and to avoid her father's command to marry, Rani decides to fulfill her only dream of becoming like Nigar Begum. She visits Nigar and asks her to keep her as her maid, thinking that she will live a life better than that of a beggar. Rani rejects Shamu's love, insults him for being a transgender, and approaches Nigar Begum, keeping in mind that once she has arrived - she can never go back. Facing her rejection, Shamu is left heartbroken and decides to earn a decent living, thus joining a local barbershop. Nigar Begum keeps Rani as her maid and renames her, Reena Begum.

Shahzeb takes his marriage proposal for Nazneen to her father and gets engaged, while she isn't interested in marrying him. Later, she opens up about her wish to study, so she's sent to Lahore with Shahzeb's consent, and her parents consider Basit her guardian. With time, Shahzeb begins questioning himself and God about why Nazneen doesn't love him back. As his questions cause him to face religious confusion, he regularly visits an Islamic Molvi, whose knowledge and words help him.

Shamu becomes a popular hairstylist whereas Rani starts to realise that her life hasn't changed the way she imagined.
